Rarely has anything been able to distract me from eating them immediately.
But just once, on a cold starry clear night in the high desert someone came along more important, more present and more lovely than warmest of warm chocolately chipped cookies.

Antoinette Tuff, describing what love does in extraordinary situations.

He was really a hurting young man.

Allowing him to know some of my life stories and what was going on with me.

Bullets don’t have a name

I give it all to God. I’m not a hero.

I just explained to him that I loved him.

Amazing things happen when we are grounded in Love. Thank you Mrs. Tuff, for the light!
